The first Intifada, or the Intifada, began in 1987 and ended with the signing of the Oslo accords in 1993, although the violence had already decreased significantly two years earlier. This is the one described in TheLady's original writeup above.

It should be noted that the years 1993-2000, while not nearly as violent (on average) as during the Intifadas, were not wholly peaceful. The Palestinian Authority had violated the Oslo accords (and lost its credibility) long before the Al Aqsa Intifada, one instance being the 1996 bus bombings in Tel Aviv.
